Help Decorating Living Room - Mid-Century Attempt
Comments (5)Adding feet to the dresser won't work well because of the toekick. Put it up on 4 cans of beans or tuna to emulate the look, pretty sure you won't like it. Make it more retro 50s, my 1956 bedroom set has the toekick at the bottom like your piece. I'd rather have nice stiletto feet like all my living room furniture but other than that it's wonderful and makes me happy. DLawless has MCM inspired hardware, was thinking the dished saucers but the chevron ones might be nice! If you can figure out how to remove the toekick or are brave enough to cut part of the centers out so it looks like feet go for it though. I'd do skinny and only as tall as the toekick or proportions would get wonky. I tried and failed to finish smocked round pillows, very retro. Piped around squares and squares with buttons in the center are MCM or you could buy pillow covers made from one of the iconic fabrics from Girard or Eames or a Calder inspired mobile or 'atomic' then pull a color for the ottoman. You can get incredible deals on eBay for fabric remnants, search Maharam and you get more suggestions under the search bar. Have fun searching for a new chair. Looks like you have a great spot for a nice wide comfy chair like a Womb or Bird or Wegner Shell/Wing or Egg....See MoreMid century mod decor with contemporary gray floor & espresso kitchen?
Comments (3)I beg to differ the gray floors are fine with MCM but the espresso cabinets IMO don’t work at all. I would look into having them painted since I find most espresso cabinets are some god knows what wood underneath and a lot from China so paint would be my choice....See MoreMaking a Tuscan decor mid century modern?
Comments (20)I think new paint and some different wall decorations would make a big impact. White it a great suggestion, potentially blues and greens. I don't see MCM for your space but it can definitely feel contemporary, clean-lined, and updated. The fireplace is rather clean-lined and doesn't feel like it fights a contemporary vibe at all....See MoreNeed help decorating mid century living room!
Comments (2)Will your clock fit on the wall behind the chaise? I wouldn't be in a hurry to fill your hutch - collect things that call to you. Some plants would be nice - maybe one on top of the hutch on the sunnier side that drapes (spider plants aren't fussy) and some floor planters. Love your vinyl and analog stero equipment! Congratulations on your new home. You will get some good feedback from this group. Best wishes!!...See Morenotapundit
